 the higher of the plants had already for several days been showing 

 a tendencj' to wither, it was dug up. It measured than 227 mm. 

 and had a new corm just above the old one, of about the same 

 size as the latter. This new corm was kept for some time in a dry 

 place and was afterwards planted, but did not sprout. 



On February 24 the second of the plants which had been 

 measured had also withered; it had reached a height of 157 mm. 

 The third crocus with its four shoots was fairly well-developed at 

 the end of January; but all the shoots were very slender; the highest 

 had attained 152 mm.
